Keiver, Williams win Dancing with the Stars By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Things were sizzling hot at Yardmen Arena Friday night when Volunteer & Information Quinte hosted its ninth annual Dancing With the Stars event. Eight couples hit the checkerboard dance floor in front of a crowd of hundreds to display wellchoreographed routines that ranged from funny, to inspiring to sexy. But no couple captivated the crowd more than Jennifer Keiver & Ryan Williams, who were voted as the best duo of the night. The two came out in magnetizing red and black formal wear and performed a swinging quick-step routine, taught to them by France, the single-named instructor from For the Love of Dance. They smiled and laughed throughout the performance and the crowd fed off their free-spirited energy. “It was awesome,” said Williams, describing the feeling of the night, after being named a winner. He also praised France. “She’s the reason for this. We just followed her lead.” Keiver said she came out of the event as a big winner. “This is the best. I made two really good friends,” she said, referencing both France and Williams. It was one of a number of inspiring performances on the night. Second place went to Jill Turney and John-

Ross Parks for a disco routine, taught by Krystle Parks. And Lisa Vance and John Cairns came in third place for a lyrical/hip hop routine taught by Sheri Thompson of the Ireland Academy of Dance. Cairns, a double amputee, inspired the crowd with some tricky moves. A Belleville police officer was the star of another crowd-pleasing performance, as officer Lindsay Elliot danced with Tim Howard. The routine, taught by Liane Ireland of Ireland Academy of Dance, depicted a jailhouse scene. Spiderman made an appearance early in the evening, as part of a routine taught by Daryl Greesey of A Step Ahead Dance. But when the mask was unveiled, it showed it was Terry Boyd dancing with Janice Cooney, not the actual superhero. Christine Bennett and Jamie Godin donned roller skates for their tricky 70s-style dance performance, taught by Tawny Jackson of Tawny’s School of Dance. Nicole Kleinsteuber, of Quinte Broadcasting, and Brice McVicar, of The Intelligencer, performed a fun character dance taught by Lisa Sinclar of Loyalist College. It showed that even journalists can be cool. Lauren Franz-Reid and Chris Crawford got the night started with a salsa mix dance, taught by Alicia Sewell of Astounding Heights Dance Ryan Williams and Jennifer Keiver captivated the audience at Dancing with the Stars and were voted the winning couple.

Brighton – A public meeting with Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi concerning physician recruitment may not be in the immediate works, but the MPP is coming to Brighton council. During the May 16 council meeting, councillors John Martinello and Roger McMurray spearheaded a motion to invite the MPP to attend a public meeting prior to the end of May, to speak to residents about local healthcare issues and physician recruitment. In the wake of Dr. Ronald Twiddy’s retirement, Brightonians in recent months have expressed concerns surrounding accessibility to local healthcare. Council put forth the motion with the hopes Rinaldi could help shed some light on current provincial responsibilities and challenges, and to have him speak to the issue and current healthcare system. Due to short notice and prior obligations, however, Rinaldi says he could not attend the proposed public meeting at the King Edward Community Centre. The MPP is committed to coming to council in June though, he noted. Rinaldi was originally slated to attend for annual report, but during this time the MPP says he’s more than willing to also discuss this issue further. “I have received calls and some correspondence from some concerned citizens also,” said Rinaldi. “I’m de-
lighted Brighton is initiating its doctor recruitment committee again. I’ll lend whatever support I can moving forward.” There are challenges ahead, the MPP added. One of those challenges includes time. Recruitment takes time and communities almost have to compete in this regard nowadays, Rinaldi explained. “It’s a lot like business – doctors are like independent operators.” Another challenge is the number of patients in need of a doctor and to absorb such a large number. In terms of provincial responsibilities, the role of the province is to create doctors, Rinaldi said. And right now, in comparison to 10 years ago, Rinaldi says the province is generating about 700 more doctors than those retiring. Rinaldi reports about 10 years ago, the province was actually losing about 400. The MPP welcomes residents, who may feel as though they have no where else to turn to or those who may need assistance contacting either Health Force Ontario or Health Care Connect to contact his office. “In whatever way I can help, I will,” he said. Rinaldi is slated to attend council on June 20. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. “We knew this has been in the making for some time, it’s unfortunate we’re in this place now, but we’re going to move forward,” Rinaldi said.

Frankford woman wins $50K on scratch ticket
Frankford resident Carolyn Weese is celebrating after discovering she won a $50,000 top prize playing a scratch ticket for the Ontario Lottery game Quest for Gold. “My husband and I were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary over lunch,” shared Weese while at the
OLG Prize Centre where she got her big cheque. “On the way home we stopped off at the store to pick up a few things including some lottery tickets. I like the scratch games so I asked my husband to grab me one of those.” Weese won $25 with that ticket.
“A couple of days later I used the money from that win to buy another Crossword ticket. I scratched it that evening. I noticed I had 11 words, but I had no idea what that meant until I flipped the ticket over and saw $50,000 as the prize amount. I was home alone when I discovered my win, so I had
to wait for my husband to get in so I could share the good news.” At first, Weese’s husband did not believe her. “So off we went to the corner store and right away I handed the ticket to the retailer who validated it. Everything shut down. OLG called and that’s when it was confirmed that
I had a winning ticket!” Weese is planning to use her windfall to help out her kids, travel and purchase a new car. “I have two children in college so this will definitely help. My treat will be a new car and a trip with my husband, definitely somewhere tropical!” concluded Weese.

Barks goes big for 10th anniversary By Erin Stewart Trenton – Barks by the Bay was bigger and better than ever to celebrate its 10th anniversary in Quinte West on Sat. May 28 at Centennial Park. Joyce Fowler, St. John Ambulance therapy dog program coordinator, remembers the first year Barks started at Hanna Park in Trenton 10 years ago. “I love Barks by the Bay and we’ve been here ever since the year it started,” she said. “It’s evolved immensely, it’s grown leaps and bounds it’s amazing.” Fowler said it’s a great event to have their therapy dog booth set up because many people come and talk to them about what they do and they get perspective therapy dogs signed up for the program. Erin Raham came from Bloomfield with her 14-week-old puppy to checkout Barks by the Bay for the first time. “I think it’s wonderful, there’s so much information and so many different venues to go to,” said Raham. “Having all of the pools around for the dogs is really great, it’s really well organized, the DockDogs show was one or my favourites for sure.” The Rideau River DockDogs show was one of the popular events at this year’s
festival where dogs would jump for distance, height or a timed race in a 40 ft. pool. Family pets could also try their hand at the sport or just cool off with a swim. The festival also included Dog Lovers Day – Lure Courses for the family dog, Lottie the Collie Show, Dogs Got Talent Show, Pet Healing Centre, Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball Demonstrations, Animal Talk with Lauren Bode and a Play Zone. “We’re very pleased with this year, looking back ten years ago this started in Hanna Park, I think they had a dozen vendors, and it’s grown, we’ve got almost 45 vendors here today,” said Laurie Caouette, special events coordinator with the city of Quinte West. Barks by the Bay has really taken off as one of the most popular events in Quinte West she said. “So many people these days are choosing not to have kids or having kids later in life but they get dogs and they treat them like kids,” said Caouette. “That’s what you see today, these are dogs that are obviously part of the Chloe Wilson-Valcamp (L) and Emma Mazur play with 14-week-old puppy Gemma at Barks by the Bay at Centennial Park on Sat. May 28 in Trenton. Photo family.” Caouette said they look forward to by Erin Stewart another ten years of Barks by the Bay.

Fort McMurray evacuees take up temporary residence in Brighton By John Campbellford Brighton – Mark and Tanya Elliott and their two children were planning to visit his parents in Brighton this summer but that got moved up because of the wildfires in Alberta. The family fled Fort McMurray May 4 and then flew east earlier than expected after the wildfire, which is still raging out of control, spread into the city, forcing the evacuation of its 80,000 residents. Mark was working at a college downtown, where he’s a learning and development specialist, when he saw smoke “blooming” to the south.
“I thought this really looks serious,” he said in an interview from the Little Lake Road home of his parents, Aubrey and Lois Elliott. He sent a photo to his wife who’s an administrative assistant with Suncor Energy at a plant north of the city. “I couldn’t believe that it had grown that big and it was coming up over the hills that were right downtown,” Tanya said. Mark picked up their children, Arden and Ronin, at their elementary school, taking an hour to cover less than 10 kilometres because of the gridlock that had developed. “There was a whole bunch of anxious

kids waiting for parents to pick them up,” and their children were among those “starting to get nervous about what was going on,” Tanya said. She met her husband and children at home and they hurriedly packed their Ford Explorer with what they thought they “would need for a couple of days,” she said. It was on their drive out of the city that they “started to realize how much damage had already been done,” to the Beacon Hill and Abasand areas of Fort McMurray, Tanya said. “The whole side of the hill was on fire,” she said. “There were flames coming down the hill and ... on either side of the road.” It wasn’t until they found refuge in a small community 200 kilometres south of Fort McMurray that they learned their home in Stonecreek had been destroyed by fire. Finding out their neighbourhood had been burned out was “unbelievable,” Tanya said.

OPINION
Zika and the Olympics In the past, the only excuse for cancelling the Olympic Games has been a world war (Berlin 1916, Tokyo 1940, London 1944). But if this year’s games had been scheduled for somewhere in West Africa two Gwynne Dyer years ago, when the Ebola outbreak was nearing its peak, they would certainly have been called off. So should the Olympic Games scheduled to begin in Rio de Janeiro on August 5 be cancelled, moved or postponed? The health risk in Brazil’s case is the Zika virus, transmitted by mosquito bites, which appeared in the country two years ago. It causes only a mild fever, if any at all, but it has been linked to a huge increase in the number of cases of microcephaly, in which babies are born with small, underdeveloped brains. Some die; most survive, but with moderate to severe learning difficulties. The 4,700 cases of microcephaly in Brazil since last October (vs. 150 in all of 2014) suggest that the country has a big public health problem, but the Zika virus hardly compares with the Ebola virus, which kills half the people who become infected. Yet 152 health professionals from around the world have now signed an open letter demanding that the Brazil Olympics do not go ahead as scheduled. The letter, addressed to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and published on Friday, was initiated by Prof. Amir Attaran of the University of Ottawa. “Sports fans who are wealthy enough to visit Rio’s Games choose Zika’s risks for themselves,” he said, “but when some of them return home infected, their fellow citizens bear the risk too.” The WHO and the IOC immediately rejected his proposal, the former pointing out that the Olympic visitors, expected to number between 350,000 and 500,000, are only a small fraction of the six million visitors to Brazil each year – and that nine million Brazilians, potentially already car-
rying the Zika virus, travel abroad each year. Why focus specifically on the Olympics? Because, says Dr. Attaran, the Olympic athletes and tourists will include many people from countries whose citizens would not normally visit Rio. Some of those countries have poor public health services and warm climates, but are still Zika-free: “It cannot possibly help to send a half-million travellers into Rio from places that would not normally have strong travel connections with Rio and therefore set up new dissemination channels.” Prof. Attaran has even publicly accused the WHO of defending the IOC because the two organisations have officially been in partnership since 2010: “It is ignorant and arrogant for the WHO to march handin-hand with the IOC.” And there is a lot of money on the table. The Brazilian government is spending $10 billion on the Olympics and there’s another $3 billion at risk in various media and service contracts, very little of which will be covered by insurance if the games are cancelled. So much of the insistence that all will be well is certainly driven by concern about the money that would be lost. The risk of spreading the Zika virus to some countries that would probably not otherwise get it until much later is real and relevant, because work is underway on a vaccine and a year or two could make a big difference. But let’s be realistic: the Rio Olympics cannot be moved in the time that remains and will not be cancelled or postponed. So what should be done? Dr. Lawrence Gostin, director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, has the answer: “What is urgently needed is for the international community, led by the WHO, to declare an all-out war on the mosquito population in Rio.” A concerted, well-funded effort under close international supervision could reduce that population to near zero, at least for the time that the Olympics last. That has not yet happened, mainly because it would be humiliating for Brazil to admit that it cannot do it on its own. Given the internal political crisis raging in the country, it will be hard to find a senior politician in Brasilia with the guts to ask for that kind of help. But it’s time to go looking for one.
Online creeps need outing Editorial - Chris Malette Last week, we reported online the name and occupation of a man charged with production of child pornography. Now, before those of you who get all shirty about the publication of names of those simply charged before conviction is registered, understand this – the individual charged works as a non-classroom employee in a Belleville school and had formerly worked in Bayside. Something to remember, too, is the fact the alleged sex offender was subject of an investigation jointly carried out by Toronto Police and Belleville Police. He was arrested April 26 in an early morning warrant search of his home in Belleville, but police had withheld his name until last Wednesday. This newspaper, it should also be noted, pressed for release of the man’s name and we knew where he worked after we had learned both pieces of information from a reliable source. It wasn’t long before the school board was answering questions about the man from newsrooms across the region. Are there more of these types of offenders out there in our midst? One might think so, given the increasing spate of news reports of busts and large-scale police dragnet operations to snare the predators. In part, statistics for 2014, the most recent year for which such figures are available from Statistics Canada in crime trends in Canada, show police are getting better at pursuing the creeps who prey, online, on children. From the most recent report on the subject, StatsCan’s “Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 2014:” In addition to sexual violations against children, in which information on the victim is available, the UCR Survey also collects data on accessing, possessing, making, printing or distributing child pornography. In 2014, the number and rate of child pornography incidents continued to rise, up from approximately 2,800 incidents in 2013 to about 4,000 incidents in 2014. As a result, the rate increased by 41%, up from 8 incidents per 100,000 population in 2013 to 11 incidents per 100,000 population in 2014. Part of this increase, however, can be attributed to a proactive project initiated by the British Columbia Integrated Child Exploitation Unit which recorded Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that were in possession of, and possibly sharing child pornography.
As well, StatsCan noted: The number of police-reported sexual violations against children continued to rise in 2014, representing one of the few categories of violent violations to increase from the previous year. In total, there were approximately 4,500 policereported sexual violations against children in 2014, about 300 more than in 2013 and resulting in a rate increase of six per cent. This was primarily the result of incidents of luring a child via a computer (including the agreement or arrangement to commit a sexual offence against a child), which increased from 850 incidents in 2013 to 1,190 incidents in 2014. Are there more child predators out there or are the means by which they address their desires much more readily at hand, so to speak, with the ease of access via the Internet? And, if so, do police believe they are making strides in hunting down cyber crimes as they pertain to child porn? Police don’t tip their hand as to what tools are at their disposal, but the major crime units of Toronto Police, for instance, were instrumental in breaking open the case that snared so many online child porn creeps – sorry, alleged child porn creeps – in the massive April busts that saw charges against the Belleville man and another from Marmora. The latter, it should be noted, still has not been publicly identified by police. The tools they are using to hunt down the darkest of the online predators are advanced to the level of those used by international counter-terrorism agencies. Child porn gatherers and producers and those who are luring youngsters online believe they are one step ahead of the law using IP address masking techniques shared through message boards and the like. But, police are there, watching the watchers, as well, and are now getting much more adept at finding the IP addresses of the offenders and crashing in their doors in early morning raids. Are there more child sex criminals in our midst? One could argue there are not. They have always, unfortunately, been lurking silently in our midst in likely the same numbers – walking among us as clergy, trusted members of the community, employees of the school board in inclass and administrative or other roles. We must be as vigilant in reporting and exposing them in our midst, however, as police are in reluctantly reporting their identities on arrest.

the community for participating in this very important event.” Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition held a media information meeting prior to voting day outside of Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) on Tue. May 24. “I would say that the cuts here in Quinte West have been among the very worst in the province,” she said at the meeting. “Your community hospital really has lost vital services now, it needs to be stopped and services restored, just like we’re calling for the same thing in communities across Ontario.” She said they are asking that the province improve the funding of local community hospitals and the money that does exist should go to care and the front lines, not to CEO and executives salaries. Mehra said the volunteer led coalition is hoping to have 100,000 ballots filled out so the concerns will be, “so visible, so impossible to ignore, that the provincial government will actually pay heed and start to restore services.” The province-wide voting results were announced on Tue. May 31, after the Quinte West News’ print deadline. The updated results will be posted to insidebelleville.com when they become available.

Coalition was held at Mike and Lori’s No Frills May 27, the day before the vote was taken in municipalities across the province, including Quinte West. Brighton was added to the list of participating communities on “very, very short notice,” said Rhonda Reynolds, voting day organizer for the referendum campaign conducted in Quinte West. “I was supposed to be doing just the Trenton area but I really, really ... wanted Brighton to have some kind of input so they said I could have an advance station,” she said. “I felt that was better than nothing.” She was pleased with the results for the entire area, 2,312 votes in total, with 2,297 being in favour of the coalition’s efforts to save local community hospital services. The combined number, including the 224 votes in Brighton, “might not seem like a lot” but when compared to the number of residents in the area “it’s huge,” Reynolds said. In a notice she sent out announcing the referendum, she wrote about “major cuts” taking place at Trenton Memorial Hospital “despite promises to keep services intact. No doubt this will eventually spread locally to other hospitals in both Picton and Bancroft.
The coalition said nearly every hospital in every town in Ontario has lost services, beds and vital care staff. “Virtually all surgeries and half of the remaining acute care beds [are] to be closed,” it stated. Brighton resident Rosemary Gartshore, who has had surgeries done at TMH and received care there over 27 years, was among those who voted yes in the referendum. “The government is wasting our money instead of putting it where it should be,” she said. “I would like to see it returned to a local hospital for the residents of this area. “We need a hospital close to us, we don’t need hospitals miles away. It’s stupid ... none of it makes sense.” Gail Todd, another Brighton resident who voted yes, said she’s “quite concerned” about the future of TMH. “We need to keep that hospital in Trenton for sure ... You have to speak up and say what you think, or else you don’t have any say at all.” Peter and Betty Watson, also from Brighton, were two of the volunteers helping out with the advance poll. “Trenton hospital has been there for us when we need it and we don’t want it to go to Belleville or Cobourg,” Betty said.

Victoria’s Tea Party at Trenton Town Hall By Erin Stewart Trenton – In Honour of Queen Victoria’s Birthday, the Heritage Café and Trenton Town Hall hosted a fun tea party for their monthly fundraiser on Tue. May 24. In two sold out sittings at noon and 1:30 p.m., guests had tea for two for $15 and enjoyed a classic English tea. They also joined in the festivities to win a prize for the best decorated hat and Victoria’s trivia quiz. Dorothy James attended the event with friends and family, wearing her large decorated hat. “I think it’s a tremendous idea,” she said. “It’s good for those of us that enjoy the monarchy and I’m glad so many people turned out on such a nice day with beautiful hats.” Laura Rickards, manager of the Heritage Café, said Victoria’s Tea is the second Queen’s Tea the Heritage Café has put on and both events have been a great success, drawing in a fun crowd. “People love it, they think it’s great,” Rickards said. With many Victorian artefacts on display and volunteers dressed up in Victorian era attire, Rickards said they make most of the food themselves and have fun serving the guests. “Everything that was served came from the hearts and hands of those who love this place,” she said. Victoria’s Tea raised $400 for the Trenton Town Hall, money Rickards said they are hoping to put towards getting their internet back. The Trenton Town Hall will continue to host monthly fundraisers and put the information on their Facebook page, “Trenton Town Hall – 1861” and also in the Heritage Café. In June they will be hosting a garage sale and every Friday they have a BBQ from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. but after the success of their Queen’s Tea, Rickards said they will have to host them more often. “The teas are so popular that we will definitely have to have a tea every year so whether it’s Elizabeth or Victoria, who knows even Queen Mary will get a party, or both, or all of them,” she said.

Quinte West fashion community hosts Spring Fashion Show By Erin Stewart Trenton – Quinte West’s fashion community came together once again for their Spring Fashion Show 2016 while also raising donations for Three Oaks on Thur. May 26 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Trenton. Around 70 people came out to enjoy a night of fashion from Quinte West’s Vivacious, Red Shark, Off the Hook, Trenton Gift’s Plus, Lily’s Bridal and Studio B. Barney Goldberg, owner of Studio B and coorganizer or the event, said they wanted a way to showcase their clothing as well as give back to the community. “Three Oaks is my favourite charity,” Goldberg said. “I hate the situation they’re in and I want to help as much as possible.” Goldberg said the spring fashion show is the second time they’ve put on the event, after the fall show, and everyone always seems to really
enjoy it. “The models are fabulous, they’re doing a great job, the music is good, Mr. Brooker is doing a fabulous job, love all the support from our sponsors it’s just fantastic,” he said. Glenda Deraaf, owner of Lily’s Bridal, said she’s really excited to be opening her third location in downtown Trenton and was happy to be a part of the show. “We’re very, very happy to be here and everybody has been so welcoming that we wanted to participate in any way we could,” Deraaf said. “It’s been fun, we’re all laughing, and everyone is having a great time.” Wendy Ouellette attended the fashion show for her second time and said it’s great that Trenton has so many nice places to shop. “It was wonderful, lots of great clothing,” she said. “ A lot of great styles for a good cause supporting three oaks.” Quite West’s next fashion show will be in the fall.

French story time at Quinte West public library By Erin Stewart Trenton – Trenton’s École élémentaire catholique hosted its monthly French Story Time at the Quinte West Public Library on Sat. May 28 at 10 a.m. The event is a monthly initiative on the last Saturday of each month put on by the school to provide more French services and activities for families outside of school and in the Quinte West community. Mélanie Reynolds, school principal, runs the event every month along with volunteers.
“It’s been very great, we’ve had about 18 students each time that we’ve been doing it and we see that the students are engaged into the activities so we’re willing to keep going,” she said. Reynolds said it’s important to have the French school community involved in the Quinte West community. “There’s not many French activities in the community so that’s our way of putting an imprint on what’s important to us,” she said. Any children in the community are welcome to go to story time to sing,
make crafts and read stories in French and English. Everyone is invited, children who only speak English or very little French and children from any schools in the community. Marilyn Labonte brought her daughter to story time and said it helps the children get connected with what’s going on outside of the French community. “I think it’s a good opportunity for them to see something else
and be with other French friends and to support the French community,” she said. “We have some activities but if we don’t participate in them they will not continue so it’s good people get involved and feel part of the community.” Labonte said she really enjoys
being at the Quinte West public library because it helps her feel more involved. “We get more involved in the Trenton community, we know what’s going on and we can be involved with the French community as well so it’s combining both.”

Trenton Tigers rugby senior boys off to OFSAA
By Stephen Petrick
Thurlow – When it comes to high school rugby, it’s tough to tame the Trenton Tigers. Trenton High School marched to a Central Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics senior boys rugby championship on Wednesday, May 25 at the rugby fields in Thurlow. The win qualified them to play in the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletics Association championships, starting June 2 at St. Mary’s Catholic Secondary School in Cobourg. Trenton beat the Belleville-based Centennial Chargers 20-5 in the final of the COSSA tournament. Centennial was competitive throughout the game, but a try and a penalty kick by Trenton late in the second half gave the Tigers an insurmountable lead in the brief 40-minute game.
“We had confidence,” Trenton coach Brian Meindl told his players as they huddled by the goal posts in celebration following the game. “Enjoy it ... We’re through to OFSAA.” The Tigers beat Fenlon Falls 29-12 in the semifinal earlier in the day to advance to the final. Meanwhile, Centennial advanced to the final with a 20-14 win over St. Mary’s. The COSSA final was a rematch of the Bay of Quinte Athletics final played a week earlier in Belleville. That game was also won by Trenton by a score of 32-12. The Tigers junior boys rugby team wasn’t as fortunate at its COSSA tournament, also played in Thurlow on May 25. The juniors lost in the tournament final to St. Mack “Yack” Hunter, of the Trenton Tigers, catches a ball in a lineout during a COSSA senior boys rugby semifinal game against Fenlon Falls. The Tigers went on to win the game Mary’s by a score of 34-7. and the tournament. Photo by Stephen Petrick

Sandercock, Hennessy, Murrell, French, Lammle, Golden win on fan night at Brighton Speedway By Clayton Johns
 Brighton - A capacity crowd at Brighton Speedway witnessed 90 stock cars take to the track on Dibbits Excavating and 95.5 Hits FM Fan Appreciation night. Fans got the opportunity to meet their favourite drivers on the race track at intermission for autographs, photos and plenty of candy.  Sandercock Snags Pro Late Model Victory; First of 2016  Charlie Sandercock (No.57 Bellevue Fabricating) finally found his way back to Victory Lane on Saturday night at Brighton Speedway. The Trenton, native took the lead on lap 11, battled briefly
with Adam Turner (No.92 Village Variety), but then check out up front and won by a lengthy 3.5 seconds. Â Kyle Sopaz (No.12 Lots and Lines) led on lap five after passing polesitter Terry Hunt (No.20 Krown Rust Control) on lap five. Meanwhile, Sandercock raced his way to second behind Sopaz. Following a second lap 11 restart, Sopaz and Sandercock made contact entering turn three while battling for the lead. Sopaz went off the end of turn three, spinning out of contention. Â The lead then went to Sandercock. Turner took the lead on lap 12 only to have it snatched away two laps later by a hungry Sandercock who had used the top lane to find his way forward. A late

caution on lap 18 was no issue for the defending champion as he cruised to the victory over Brandon Mowat (No.46 Target Fabrication), who raced to second over the final 12 laps, and Phil Potts (No.29 Vanderlaan). Steve Baldwin (No.5 Pro Advantage Sports) and Greg Belyea (No.25 Excel Tower Service) drove to top-five finishes as well after Turner spun on the final corner and finished eighth.  Hennessy Notches First Canadian Modified Win Of Season  Andrew Hennessy (No.87 Custom Automotive) led only one lap of the Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified feature, but it was the most important one. Hennessy took the lead from Kraig Handley (No.91 Tri-Canadian Energy) off turn four on the final lap to claim his first win of the season.  Polesitter Curtis King (No.07 Flowmetrix) led the field early on and managed to anchor down the bottom lane of the racetrack. He withstood challenges from Josh Hennessy (No.88 A&A Haulage) and Dan Ferguson (No.11 Kilmarnock Enterprise) for throughout restarts on lap one and four.  Ferguson appeared to have the lead on lap 16, but the caution flew just as he was about to complete the pass and returned King to the point position. On the ensuing restart, Handley went to the top lane and drove past both Ferguson and King to take over the lead on lap 21. One lap later, Ferguson drove past King for second, but Handley was building a convincing lead.  With two laps to go, Hennessy got by Ferguson in turn two after the latter tried
to use the top lane to gain on Handley, who was also running the top lane. Hennessy, however, was hooked up on the bottom and erased a 0.7 second lead in two laps. He drove under Handley entering turn one and completed the pass at the exit of turn four coming to the checkered flag in a thrilling finish that had the crowd on their feet. Handley maintained the second-place finish ahead of Ferguson, King and Derrick Greig (No.48 Greig Truck & Trailer).  Murrell Dominates Pro Stock Main For First Win  Gores Landing native Brandon Murrell (No.19 Hannah Motors) drove from the pole position and led all 20 laps on his way to winning his first Brighton Automotive Pro Stock feature of the season. Murrell broke through the noise, escaped a hungry pack of drivers and was perfectly smooth on his way to the win.  Behind Murrell, the field raced threewide, three rows deep over the opening three laps before Wade Purchase (No.53 Independent Alternator and Starter) broke through with the second position. Four laps in, Jonah Mutton (No.39 NOCO Fuels) had come from 12th to run in third. Purchase and Mutton began an entertaining battle for second while Murrell’s lead grew to a full straightaway.  It was eliminated, however, by a yellow on lap 12 for a spun Rich Sanders (No.29 Orange Motorsports). Murrell restarted in the bottom lane and locked down the line on the restart. The win was never in doubt as he advanced to an eight car-length lead at the finish.
The race for second wasn’t so clear cut as Mutton drag raced Purchase to the finish. The two drivers came door-todoor at the finish and were separated by mere inches. Scores determined Mutton barely crossed the line ahead of Purchase to claim the runner-up spot. Doug Anderson (No.72 Hunt’s Bobcat Service) and Austin Reid (No.85 Kids R Kool) completed the top-five.  French Takes Third Comp 4 Win Tyler French (No.0 ABC Taxi) returned to a familiar spot a top the podium as led all 15 laps of the Bill’s Johns Comp 4 main event to earn his third feature win of the season. The Trenton native started third, but passed polesitter Steve Usher (No.06) on the opening lap to claim the point position.  French had to withstand a charge from brother Matthew French (No.13) and Josh Read (No.04 Down to Earth Landscaping) on a lap eight restart following a Bella Cosstick (No.24 Off The Hook) spin in turn four. The veteran driver was flawless over the final seven circuits and claimed the victory. Read, Matthew French, Matthew Moore (No.14 Farl’s Auto Body) and Usher completed the top-five.  Lammle, Golden Win Stinger Features  In Quinte Septic Super Stinger action, Chris Lammle (No.95 Lammle Computer Repair) drover from the fourth starting position to claim his first win of the season. Lammle got passed polesitter Megan Golden (No.07 Cannifton Garage) and former champion Del MacGregor (No.19 R.Ward Construction) to claim the win while holding off May 14 winner Rick Phillips (No.7 Dennis Davy Property Maintenance). At the checkered flag, Lammle led Phillips, Golden, MacGregor and Mark McDonald (No.28 Cannifton Garage).  Brittany Golden (No.85) wrestled the lead from Willy Bolton (No.50) in lapped traffic with four to go to take the Quinte Septic Junior Stinger feature. The win was Golden’s first of the season.

And the three successful students are bound to have a great opportunity. “I’ll make sure their work loads are varied. There’s lots of opportunity for creativity,” said Humphreys, the children’s librarian. She added that the students will be able to work in marketing and one-onone with children and families, helping the library meet its mandate to engage kids in educational opportunities yearround. Humphreys was speaking from a podium at Loyalist College’s Alumni Hall where, on May 25, Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis announced the success of this year’s federal Canada Summer Jobs program. After interviewing representatives from employers who have used the program in the past, the government was given a clear message to expand the program and run it continuously, Ellis said. As a result, funding was roughly doubled this year, allowing more nonprofits, municipalities and private businesses to apply for subsidies to hire students. Non-profits are eligible for up to 100 per cent funding of provincial minimum wage and mandatory training costs. Businesses and municipalities are eligible for up to 50 per cent funding of provincial minimum wage. Applications are submitted based on the criteria that an organization have 50 or fewer employees and an interest to hire students aged 15 to 30 who are returning to school in the fall. Several statistics were unveiled during the announcement. Nationwide the Canada Summer Job program has created about 70,000 jobs this year, compared to roughly 34,000 in 2015. In the Bay of Quinte region there are 303 student jobs this year through the program, compared to 115 last year. The funding allotment for the Bay of Quinte region was $797,000 this year, up from $229,000 a year ago. “That’s fantastic,” said Ellis, while revealing the statistics. “It’s still not Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis poses for a picture with Suzanne Humphreys, the children’s librarian with the Quinte West Public Library.

The Good Earth: Viburnums for Julia
Dan Clost Michael Dirr wrote, “A garden without a viburnum is akin to life without music and art.” as the introduction to the section on viburnum in his epic work, Manual of Woody Landscape Plants. We entertain several of these lassies
in our landscape; in fact, we have 3.5 of them. A V. dentatum ‘Blue Muffin’ standard anchors the back veggie patch whilst the front holds the other 2.5 plants. The birch garden has a V. lantana ‘Wavecrest’, its Polish cousin ‘Mohican’ centers the flowering dogwood patch while the remaining .5 consists of a leather leaf pushing a scraggly branch or two through an overgrown clump of forsythia. We did enjoy a V. opulus ‘Xanthocarpum’ until the Viburnum Leaf Beetle found it. (An aside to Gentle Reader: the birch tree met its demise in the last winter ice event and has been replaced by a volunteer ornamental crab apple but the garden was named after the birch tree and so shall it always be so.) Viburnum are a diverse member of the caprifoliaceae (honeysuckle) family with well over 150 distinct named cultivars; if you call Michael he will give you the exact number.
Of the many choices, there are several groups that will work in most GR gardens. Arrowoods (V.dentatum) were used for the shaft of arrows way, way back in the day. Currently, they are most likely used as hedge, a shrub border fill-in and, occasionally, pruned up as a standard ornamental. Zones 4-9, reaching approx 7’ in height and spreading out to 15’ if allowed. Blue Muffin, Perle Bleu, Autumn Jazz and Cardinal are worthwhile selections. Some say that the cranberry viburnums, aka V. trilobum, which some say are a naturalised form of European cranberry, V. opulus even though that would mean they have managed to “naturalise” every Canadian province and every U.S. state that shares our border, along with just about the entire eastern seaboard. This ‘natural’ plant has red drupes (berries) which give it its name, and maple-leaf like leaves that make it an attractive screening plant. The fruit is edible (Dirr even in-
cludes a jam recipe in his book!) with grosbeaks, cedar waxwings, robins and cardinals, amongst others gnoshing on them after other, more preferable sources have been used up. The species can be 9’ by 9’ in size, enjoys Zones 3-8, and does not accept drought conditions happily. Suburban home owners might look at Bailey’s Compact. Fragrant viburnums, not to be confused with V. farreri, the Fragrant Viburnum, are the ones with the smelly (nicely so) flowers. Perhaps the most commonly known is V. carlesi, aka Korean Spice Viburnum. The early spring flowers are almost ball-shaped, creamy white with a pink tinge and exceptionally fragrant. This lassie does well in high pH soils so consider it a good companion for cedars (Thuja) and lilacs (Syringa). Zone 6 would be the lower limit so you might consider a Judd Viburnum- a cross with Korean Spice as one of its parents- to achieve
the same purpose. The Wayfaring viburnum, V. ‘lantana’, has slightly rugose (wrinkled) leaves with deep veins, can be heavily fruiting (purchase in the fall if that is important), enjoys a calcareous soil (another way for us generalist gardeners to say high pH) but has the narrowest of Zones, 5-8, with heat being the serious danger. I have had 3 of these for almost 3 decades now without issues in our Zone 6a Trenton home. There are many more but the one I like the most is the one I don’t have...yet: V. lentago or Nannyberry. I hope to find room for a standard form this fall. Major pest is viburnum leaf beetle: insecticidal soap on larva (they’re active right now), hand crushing of egg masses, tanglefoot on stems to trap larva as they crawl down to the soil to pupate. Viburnums for Julia: who is Julia? She is a new co-worker who asked me to write about viburnum.
Quinte Ballet School of Canada getting ready for Spring Showcase Belleville – Having just performed in the opening ceremonies at the Under 19 Women’s World Floorball Championship on May 3, students in the professional training program of

Reasons to include more dairy in your diet A healthy diet can improve quality of life and reduce a person’s risk of developing disease or other negative health conditions. For example, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can boost the immune system and promote cardiovascular health, lowering your risk of heart disease in the process. While the benefits of including fruits and vegetables in your diet are widely known, the medical benefits of dairy are often overlooked. The following are a handful of ways that dairy products like low-fat milk, cottage
cheese and yogurt can make a nutritious and beneficial addition to your diet. • Dairy packs a protein- and calcium-laden punch. One cup of nonfat yogurt can provide as much as onethird of your daily recommended calcium intake and nearly 20 percent of your daily recommended protein intake. Though dairy products like ice cream don’t pack the same nutritious punch as yogurt, healthier fare like reduced-fat cheese and skim milk can go a long way toward meeting your daily intake of protein and calcium.

• Dairy is a great source of vitamin D. In addition to providing sufficient calcium and protein, dairy also helps men, women and children boost their vitamin D. That’s especially important in the winter months when people tend to get less exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun is a natural way to boost your vitamin D, but the shorter days and colder weather of winter can make it hard to get sufficient vitamin D during that time of year.

A healthy diet can improve quality of life
Dairy products like low-fat milk can boost your vitamin D, which can improve your bone health and, according to recent research, might help reduce your cancer risk. • Dairy may help lower your blood pressure. Men and women with high blood pressure might benefit from including more dairy in their diets. In a study of 5,000 adults, Spanish researchers found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat dairy products were more than
50 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who consumed less low-fat dairy.Though researchers are not certain as to the reason behind low-fat dairy products’impact on blood pressure, some theorize that their calcium and protein content are likely behind the benefit. • Dairy benefits your bones. Dairy has long been known to improve bone density. But it’s not just seniors who benefit from the bone-strengthening impact of dairy. Youngsters who consume dairy can also expect an increase in bone

mass, which can make them less susceptible to injuries like broken bones. Seniors who consume dairy to improve their bone density should know that a recent study from researchers at the Institute for Aging Research found that not all dairy products are equal when it comes to improving bone density. While milk and yogurt were linked to higher bone mineral density, dairy products like cream and ice cream contain less protein, calcium and vitamin D and more fat and sugar than yogurt and milk, and these products may actually be associated with lower bone mineral density. Though there are many ways men and women can improve their overall health, it’s important to consider the nutritional value of dairy when making any alterations to your diet.

reports for JUNe 2016 I Pledge: My Head to clearer thinking, My Heart to greater loyalty, My Hands to larger service. My Health for better living, for my club, my community and my country.” Small Engines Club: Meeting number one of the Hastings County Small Engine Club was held on April 5th. We did our club elections for president, vice president, secretary and press reporter. We started the club off by choosing what projects we wanted to work on. We could pick from a John Deere riding mower, a 4-wheeler and a variety of push mowers. We then went right into working. This club is not just for people who know about engines and it’s not just for the boys. If you are willing to get your hands dirty this is the

club for you. There are many leaders to help us out when we don’t know what something is. This club is the definition of the 4- H motto “learn To Do By Doing”. Meeting number two of the Hastings County Small Engines Club was held on April 12th. We dove right into taking our engines apart. Every part that we took off the leaders would explain what it was and how it contributed to the engine. We are learning about the different tools involved and how to use them properly and safely. As reported by Sydney Summers Junior and Senior Vet Club The Hastings County Vet Club held it’s official last meeting today, May 1 from 1-3:30 at the Spring Brook Hall. The meeting was opened by Vice-President Kelsey Verboom with the pledge and the minutes were read by Amy Dafoe. The role call question today
was Which Meeting has been your favourite and what did we do that made it your favourite. The answers ranged from the dissections to riding horses at the last meeting. We then played a fun Guess What I am game lead by our Junior Leader Rebecca Stockdale. Cameron and Ian’s dad Trevor Allaby lead us in a game of Hen House with Foxes and Chickens. This was a great game. The leaders gave us time then to work on our projects and offered suggestions and help as needed. We concluded the meeting with another round of Mr. Allaby’s game. The leaders then gave us information about next week’s achievement program. Achievement will be held at the Spring Brook Hall from 2-4 with the members showcasing what they have learned during the meetings and through their research,
Forest industry job fair added to Bancroft’s Sawtech Expo
A Forest Industry Job Fair is one of many aspects about a true, regional home-grown resource that will be on tap at the SawTech Log Expo in Bancroft June 10 to 12. That aspect of the event will be part of a larger presentation in the local curling club that showcases lots of exhibitors displaying ways of adding value to wood along with various education components. The forestry career and education job fair is being run by the Bancroft Area Forest Industry Association (BAFIA) and co-ordinator Virginia deCarle says “With the forest industry being the main economic driver in this area and supporting over 180,000 jobs across Ontario, it’s important to educate young people along with the general public about the opportunities there are working in forestry.” Forestry professionals will be on hand and activities will include a scavenger hunt, power point presentation, and a forest walk. For those interested in future work in that sector deCarle
says “Career fair booths covering over a 100’ area will have forestry professionals from Forests Ontario, Ontario Wood, Bancroft Minden Forest Company and a number of other forestry companies.” The event as a whole, the biggest show of its kind in central Canada, is for anyone with an interest in logging, woodlot maintenance, home improvements and wood crafting of any sort. This year’s show will feature the traditional displays of heavy equipment and accessories for the bigger logging companies along with equipment for the smaller cutters, regional mills, woodlot owners, cottagers and various kinds of folks who work with wood. Included in the list will be a huge display of portable sawmills with many being shown in action to demonstrate how they work. Among the accessories, such things as planers, molders, jointers, wood kilns and more. Saw Tech Log Expo also features woodlot tours, educational opportunities, other equipment demos, and show
deals. Organizer, Glenn Dredhart, President of Canadian Trade-Ex says there’s truly something for everyone at the event. “Kids are awed by the big machinery, everyone will learn something about an important sector of our economy, and many will make useful contacts and cut deals during the course of the show.” He says there’s still time to book exhibit space and reminds potential visitors that entry to the show is free. The Ontario Forest Expo, with two arenas and acres of outdoor space, is an important event for people in the wood products industry as well as being a true family event. The reappearance of the Expo in North Hastings, the last one happening in 2012, comes at a time of renewed hope for the industry and the emergence of more ways to add value to a precious home-grown resource. All in all, whether you are an industry leader or industry follower Bancroft is the place to be June 10th to 12th. You can see more reasons why at http://sawtechlogexpo.com/.

County to aid Fort Mac people Masons hold open house, show
By Jack Evans
On a warm May morning, Hastings County Council Thursday was preoccupied with fires. A special resolution to donate $5,000 for relief to Fort Mac whizzed through despite some rumbles of protest that charitable donations should be left to individuals, not spend the money on behalf of taxpayers. One member rested more easily when assured there were contingency funds in the budget to provide for such expenditures. The representative from Tweed, Reeve Jo-Anne Albert, reported her municipality had also donated $5,000. Also in play was another fire, closer to home, which destroyed several units of a public housing complex in Bancroft. County staff was praised for pitching in to help relocate and otherwise support the homeless. Bancroft Mayor Bernice Jenkins had high praise for county
staff and her fellow councillors for their warm support. Then there was the other Bancroft ‘fire.” The entire board of the North Hastings Non Profit Corporation that operates the northern housing units resigned en masse just days before the fire, leaving county staff to bear the burden of financing replacement housing and dealing with the insurance company. County staff are also arranging a replacement board and sorting through the legal technicalities involved. The question about why the board had resigned was unknown. Yet another unusual expenditure that passed was a commitment to the Air Show at CFB Trenton of $20,000 in recognition of the tremendous tourism value and economic input expected from this special event plus the important role the base plays in the region’s economy and culture.

That myth, many Masons say, likely comes from the fact that Masons do not openly recruit new members. However, Masons will gladly share details about the organization to any one who asks. The Belleville Masonic Temple serves as the home of three lodges that meet there at least once a month. They are Eurika, Moira and Belleville-Temple lodge. Between the three lodges, there are about 400 members.

Countless dedicated hours were volunteered when he took on the role of teaching and leading boys at Sea Scouts, Scouts and Ventures.

live right here, for this area has so much to offer. Indeed, as Chris pointed out in last week’s editorial, many vacationers are now selecting to visit this very area for their vacation experience. Therefore, many of us may decide to simply enjoy a holiday by staying close to home this year. It not only makes economic sense, for it keeps one’s travel dollar in our very own province and area, but we have such a plethora of fantastic choices available to us. Most of us are already aware that our area has a great number of fabulous festivals and annual special events, but since we live right here, we may take some of these simply for granted. For example, the Belleville Lions Club offers a series of summer concerts at Zwicks Park (www.concertsonthebay.ca) – and they’re free! This is just one example of many opportuni-

ties available to us in this area. Enjoy! We all know by now about Prince Edward County’s awesome wineries, but if you haven’t checked them out for some time, I’ll bet that you’ll be surprised about how many of them there actually are. They seem to be sprouting up and multiplying at a very speedy rate! Indeed, wine tours are exceedingly popular in “The County”, but were you aware that there’s also a “Barn Quilt Trail”, great cycling routes, and a variety of specialty farms? For example, there are farm-gate operations (such as Honey Wagon Farms), equestrian farms (such as Harderway Farms), and even a lavender farm (Prince Edward County Lavender Farm). In today’s travel piece, however, I’m going to suggest 10 nearby destinations for us, all of which could be done as day trips, and all of these are certainly worth Looking out from Kingston’s Old Fort Henry. a visit: 1. Sandbanks Provincial Park – Yes, I’m still In “The County” for this 2. Fort Henry – This national historic site, in nearby Kingston, was built selection, but we’re so fortunate during the War of 1812, and it has to have such a magnificent beach, been restored as a museum of British where we can simply soak up the and Canadian military history. While sun, walk far out into Lake Onhere, you can see “The Garrison Patario, or partake in a swim and a rade”, a half hour presentation of picnic.

Costumed interpreters perform agricultural and commercial chores – and you’ll visit a church, school, tavern, bakery, steam-powered flour mill, and a blacksmith shop.

While in Peterborough, be sure to check out the Peterborough Lift Lock Visitor Centre, 353 Hunter St. E., to learn about the history of this incredible structure. 6. Silent Lake Provincial Park – You won’t find any motorboats in this tranquil, rustic park near Bancroft, but you will find paddlers, campsites, two sandy beaches, and over 19 km. of hiking and mountain biking trails. 7. Bon Echo Provincial Park – The main attraction here is its 100 metre high Mazinaw Rock. It rises directly out of Mazinaw Lake, one of Ontario’s deepest lakes, and you’ll find a plethora of native pictographs on it. 8. Primrose Donkey Sanctuary – This facility is dedicated to the rescue, protection, and rehabilitation of abused, neglected, and unwanted donkeys. It’s located at 1296 Bowmanton Road, Roseneath, and visitors are welcome on Thursdays and Sundays between 1-4 pm.. 9. Algonquin Provincial Park – We’re very fortunate to have this beautiful park of 7,725 square km. so near to us. It’s a great place for family camping, hiking, biking, and participating in a wildlife adventure, such as fishing, a wolf howl, or simply being on the lookout for bear and moose. 10. Hell Hole - There’s a classic rock song in which the group Led Zepellin refer to a “Stairway to Heaven”. Well, I found a ladder to Hell, and it was located just north of Napanee, at R.R. #1 Centreville. There’s actually a series of hell holes on a private property – and a 3.2 km. nature trail - but I imagine that there might also be a lot of mosquitoes and black flies at this time of year. I’d recommend an autumn visit.

MP Mike Bossio sets priorities on rural needs
By Jack Evans
Being an Member of Parliament from a rural riding is not easy when facing competition from massive cities, Liberal MP Mike Bossio told the recent breakfast meeting of the Belleville and District Chamber of Commerce. The early morning event drew a sizeable crowd to the main banquet hall of the Travelodge Inn. But the rookie MP was able to report he and other members of the large rural caucus of the Liberal government have scored at least some points already, including a commitment that at least a specific amount of the new multi-billion infrastructure fund be designated for “small, rural municipalities,” and also the one-third system for such funds be negotiable for small places. His rural caucus has also negotiated an easement for small centres on the “shovel ready” requirement. But that being said, the government’s bureaucracy defines “small municipality” as “up to 100,000,” and a town the size of Deseronto or a rural township in his riding of Hastings, Hastings, Lennox & Addington MP Mike Bossio speaks at a Belleville Chamber of Commerce breakfast Lennox and Addington cannot begin at the Travelodge Inn in Belleville. Photo by Jack Evans to compete for funding on that basis.
“Large towns and cities hire professional grant applicators to make their brand,” he said. “Really small communities simply cannot afford that and often don’t even have the wherewithal to fill in the grant form properly themselves.” Roads project funds are based on roads having traffic at 3,000 vehicles per day, he added. “Most rural roads in our area can’t begin to qualify for that.” Yet Bossio firmly believes that stimulating the rural economy is the best route toward a revitalized Canadian economy and re-empowered middle class. He cited the newly-formed Picton-based economic incentive group put together by a 50-50 split between private and public investments. The private sector on the committee can mentor entrepreneurs from first-hand experience and the public sector can help provide education and training as needed plus investments. To highlight the need for such programs, Bossio stated: “today’s technology is eliminating jobs faster than we are creating them.” Meanwhile, creative and talented entrepreneurs in rural areas are stifled by
lack of sales and marketing expertise and access to high-speed broadband internet services. “We need adequate internet infrastructure to create a level playing field,” he said. Apart from helping form a large and well-motivated rural caucus, Bossio said he and Neil Ellis, the MP for the Bay of Quinte riding, and some other regional MPs are working together for the entire region. Developments of much significance include the deep water harbour at Picton. There has been no federal money committed so far, but Bossio appeared optimistic that some will be forthcoming. He also commented on the $50 million committed to study the murdered and missing aboriginal women. The suicide problem has also been added to that now. He explained the problem is getting the native communities themselves directly involved and that is what the funds are for. A number of local dignitaries attended the presentation, including fellow Liberal MP Ellis, Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith, Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and other city and area officials.

Highway of Heroes Tribute gets the green treatment of trees
Quinte West -- Next time you drive along the 401 by the Glenn Miller Road exit, be sure to take notice of some newly planted trees. They’re the result of a community effort to beautify the Highway of Heroes stretch and pay tribute to men and women who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for the county. A large group gathered in the area on Saturday, May 21 to participate in the Highway of Heroes Living Tribute. The tribute is a large effort to plant 117,000 trees along Highway 401, spanning from CFB Trenton to Toronto. That stretch was recently named the Highway of Heroes, as the bodies of Canadian soldiers killed in combat are often carried along that stretch, as they land at the air force base and are then taken to a postmortem in Toronto. The plan is to plant one tree for every fallen Canadian solider since Confederation. About 80 people participated in the planting on May 21, including Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, Quinte West councillor Duncan Armstrong and Lyle Vanclief, a former MP for the Quinte area and now the chair of the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, which is helping to grow the trees for this special project. Several scouts and scout leaders, Canadian Forces members, veter-
ans and landscape professionals also contributed to the effort. A total of 134 trees were planted. They included 10 and 15 gallon potted stock as well as wire basket trees. Eight different species were planted including red maple, burr oak, white spruce and accolade elm trees. They were planted along the northwest corner of the 401 and The Cleaton family planting some of the White Spruce trees. Family father Iain is a serving member of the Military at CFB Trenton. Submitted photo Glenn Miller Road intersection. Vineland lead researcher, Darby McGrath, has been developing updated planting protocols for the Ministry of Transportation and municipalities to use for planting highway right-of-way trees to give the trees a much greater chance to survive and thrive in the busy 401 area. The project also involves the Upper Canada chapter of Landscape Ontario. Companies attending with machinery and professional staff on the day included Gunn-Duncan Landscaping, Signature Landscape Concepts and Scott Wentworth Landscape Group (who were the primary designers of the planting plan). Several nurseries were very supportive including Uxbridge Nurseries, Connon Nurseries, and Willowbrook Nurseries. For more information on the Highway of Heroes tribute visit http:// hohtribute.ca/

Physiotherapy loss impacts municipal costs By Jack Evans Quinte Health Care Corporation’s decision a few years ago to cut outpatient physiotherapy services at all four hospitals is taking a tough toll on hundreds of working age residents and also impacting local welfare costs, Hastings County Council was told Thursday. The presentation from Pippa Strachan, a Bancroft-based physiotherapist, related how important the skills of her profession are to healing many forms of injuries and illnesses, but are now beyond affordability of many people who need them. The age group hardest hit is 20 to 65, she said, noting that some assistance is available for young people and seniors. The result, she said, is that people forego treatment or are forced into poverty and onto welfare, or they are delayed or
prevented from returning to work as they normally might. Strachan stressed that she had no personal involvement in the problem other than concern for those who need such help and cannot get it and the impact it is having on the community. She researched how the Ontario Ministry of Health has made no such decision, although many hospitals have dropped the outpatient service. The few remaining public clinics available are too far away for most people. The value of physiotherapy is confirmed by the fact that the service is still operated for in-patients. Even disability and similar programs are not designed to cover the costs of the treatments, she affirmed. Council agreed with her concerns and voted to send a letter to provincial and local authorities pointing out the problem and seeking remedial action.

Woodlots get a look from the eye in the sky Did you ever wonder what your woodlot looked like from the air? Have you always wished you had a simple photograph to give you the big picture of your lot? The local woodlot owners association is using some cool modern technology to help with both. On Saturday, June 18 in Madoc, the Ontario Woodlot Association (Quinte Chapter) will host an “active learning day on the ground and in the air.” Two practical demonstrations will help landowners learn new ways to examine their property. Nick January, Geographic Information System (GIS) coordinator for the County of Hastings will demonstrate what you can learn about your property using the Hastings County Community Online Maps System. Chris Droog will demonstrate his “flying camera” drone in action so the audience can admire his aerial videography. In the GIS morning session in Madoc, woodlot owners can be a cartographer for the day. Nick January will walk everyone through the Community Online Maps system, highlighting the easy-to-use, interactive interface with full screen maps. A user guide will be provided. He will show participants how to access the most recent colour aerial photography (collected in

Participants will visit Chris Droog’s property in StirlingRawdon and learn how to use a small drone to explore and inventory their own land for a new perspective. Chris is a computer technician with ample experience in drone technology. He will take his quadcopter drone for a “spin” over his farm, and then show the audience his videography on a DVD. See the miniature horse and donkey farm from 500 feet in the air. Chris will explain all the ins and outs of drone use. He will cover applications, Federal Aviation Administration rules, cost, and available platforms for flight modes. Participants will meet on Saturday, June 18 at 9 am. at the Arts Centre Hastings, at 230 Durham Street South in Madoc. After lunch, people will drive to the farm in Stirling-Rawdon.

Best ever Community Care for Central Hastings benefit By Diane Sherman Central Hastings - Supporters came together for the 14th annual dinner auction hosted by Community Care for Central Hastings (CCCH), held once again at the Madoc Township recreation hall recently. The final tally released May 12 totals $14,427.76. Funds will go to continue programs for seniors and adults with physical disabilities living in the municipalities of Stirling-Rawdon, Tweed, Centre Hastings and the townships of Tudor-Cashel, Marmora and Lake and the hamlet of Roslin. Executive Director Pat Dobb told 175 dinner guests the agency hopes to purchase another mobility van to meet a growing demand for assisted transportation. “Currently, we have one vehicle, which I can tell you is busy seven days a week.”
Volunteer Claire Francis, who has been lead organizer for the event since 2008 said, “Support this year far exceeded our expectations. The community has been very generous. There were 122 donors, which we have listed on our website.” Tickets for the dinner, catered by Doug and Helen Turpin of Stirling, went on sale in February along with raffle tickets for a three-way split of cash. First prize went to Terry Clemens with Nellie Keising second and Larry Bennett was drawn third for $500, $300 and $100 respectively. Volunteers Emma Nash, Sheila Barcier, Linda McLaren, Jan Bruce, Joan Donaldson and Wally and Elaine Sawkins, made up the organizing committee with Claire Francis. Educators Rob Lake and Brian Long stepped into their auctioneer roles, stimulating higher bids
with their usual antics and humour, bringing over $3000 for live auction items. CCCH offers numerous programs, including home delivery of meals, social dining events, crisis intervention, friendly visiting services, reassurance calls and help with household chores, transportation services, a rural mail courier’s alert program, exercise programs, foot care and blood pressure clinics, and runs the Hidden Treasures second-hand store in Tweed. Though partially funded by the Ministry of Health, the agency relies on community fundraising to maintain services. It is managed by a board of directors, and continues programs with over 100 volunteers. To apply for services, to volunteer, or to make a donation, contact the office at 108 Russell Street< Madoc, phone 613473-9009, or visit the website at CCCH is managed by a board of directors. Assembled is Bob Taylor, Jan Bruce, Joan Donaldson, Doug Hunter, Chair Brent Seaton, Terry Richmond, Cliff Derry and Pat Dobb. Photo by Diane Sherman www.ccch.ca.

Time to vote for Business Achievement Awards It is widely recognized that local businesses make a significant contribution to the community. But, businesses seldom receive the recognition they deserve for giving their efforts. Now’s the time for the public to show them the love by nominating any particular business for a Quinte Business Achievement award. According to organizers, for the past 20 years, the Quinte Business Achievement Awards have celebrated business excellence in areas such as entrepreneurship, business development, marketing success, customer service, company practices, community involvement, growth and expansion, innovation, and employee training and development. “The Bay of Quinte Region has many outstanding businesses” says Jacqui Burley, chair of the 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards, “these businesses and entrepreneurs deserve recognition for their accomplishments. Nominating them for an award is an excellent way for the community to recognize and show their support.” Quinte residents, customers, employees, and volunteers are asked to identify and congratulate the many hard-working and successful businesses, not-for-profit organizations and business people in your community by submitting nominations. Any business, organization or business person in Brighton, Belleville, Quinte West or Prince Edward County can be nominated. Nominations can be accepted by phone at 613-392-7635 or online at www.qbaa.ca. The person nominating will need to give the name of the nominee, which community they are located in, and any contact information. Nominations can be made anonymously. The deadline to submit nominations is June 30, 2016. “Businesses are honored to be nominated and recognized by someone in the community,” says Stephanie Wilson, Coordinator for the Quinte Business Achievement Awards. “Eligible nominees will be contacted and asked to fill in a questionnaire about their business.” A panel of independent judges makes the tough decisions in October. “The County is pleased to be hosting the event this year,” says Burley. “We embrace the opportunity to put our personal touch on it and look forward to working with the Highline Hall toward another successful event.” Winners will be announced at the Quinte Business Achievement Awards Gala to be held on October 21 at the Highline Hall in Wellington. The Quinte Business Achievement Awards is a joint effort by local Municipalities, Chambers of Commerce and other business support offices in the Bay of Quinte Region. The awards are presented in part by the generous support of RBC Royal Bank, Bell Canada, Trenval Business Development Corporation, Wilkinson and Company LLP, TD Canada Trust, Scotiabank, Business Development Bank of Canada, CN, Municipality of Brighton, City of Belleville, City of Quinte West, Allen Insurance Group, Quinte Economic Development Commission, Corporation of the County of Prince Edward, QuintEssential Credit Union, Adecco, Donini Chocolate, Belleville & District Chamber of Commerce, Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism & Commerce, Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce, Futurpreneur, Riley Financial Group, Pinchin Environmental Ltd., Moneris and Small Business Centre.
